Yowamushi Pedal episode 32

How in the hell are they going to end this? There are only six episodes left and the second day of the race has just begun. It took about half a dozen episodes for them to cover the first day… I have a bad feeling about this…

I’m not even going to bother thinking about why Sakamichi’s mother showed up at this point. The show is running out of time and suddenly she shows up to raise a little bit of hell? Yes, comedy would do nicely right about now, but for her to show up right now instead of seeing her shocked face as she watches her little boy ride that bike at high speed… Meh…

You could very well say that there are a lot of things that I don’t agree with. I don’t agree that Sakamichi’s mother showed up at this point. I don’t agree that there were three characters that ended up with first place after day one. I don’t agree with the fact that Miki hasn’t had any decent air-time in months now. She was such a nice character to see, too.

Anyway, it’s all going to go downhill from here on out. Sakamichi is tasked by Shingo to lead everyone through the mountains in order to catch up later on. This is not going to be easy when Shunsuke has become so insecure that he doesn’t even know why he’s currently participating in that race. This is not going to be easy when Jin can’t even start for some reason or other. How the hell is Sakamichi supposed to do this when almost half the team is incapable of racing properly? I foresee a lot of drama and a big, long rant about how willpower and love of the sport is pushes racers forward, after which everyone will suddenly perform perfectly… Yeah… Probably.
